Lost in Irvingland: The War of the Robots - Lost In Space Season 1 Episode 20

[@tomboughan2718]

One of my favorite episodes since it got two of my favorite robots in it. Both designed by the same person.

[@Cmdr1962]

Great kid ep. I was a great kid... once.

[@Cmdr1962]

Robbie was on Mork and Mindy, voiced by Roddy McDowall.

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

Robby the Robot also guest starred in the movie Gremlins in 1984, in addition to many other appearances,

[@dwashbur]

He became a sci-fi phenomenon in his own right.

[@RadioFanBoy]

William Brambley was the uncredited voice of The Robotoid. He was heard earlier in the series as "Mr. Nobody". Two years laster, he wound up on Star Trek as the Policeman who confront Kirk and Spock in "City On The Edge Of Forever" His most recognizable role is perhaps Officer Krupke in both the Brodway and screen versions of "West Side Story"

[@dflf]

Who noticed the Day the Earth Stood Still theme music?

[@johnbockelie3899]

Both robots were designed by the same guy.

[@bryansikes6443]

I Did When I First Watched This On VHS!!!!!!!!

[@kingsman8475]

I heard a bit of the "Forbidden Planet" theme.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

Yes. Bernard Herman. Apparently, He sold his rights, and the music was owned by Fox Studios, (in other words, free). It was used in the unaired pilot, and pops up occasionally in the series.

[@LSOK38]

A robot with free choice! That's how you get Skynet ....or Data from ST:TNG!

[@James-fg1el]

I've always noticed Robbie the robot and how it has a overhead camshaft with rocker arm switches . And the pinball machine flippers on top

[@francislajeunesse8313]

At around 6:00 Robbie talking to the weird mask guy; the mask guy says; "It has been many decades since we left the planet", why did they need a homing signal to find it again? Did they forget where it was? if I was Robbie I would be more upset with the masked guy as he left him to rot on the planet for many decades. That is unless the masked guy's species is so inept that they are incapable of finding their was around the universe.

[@fredblonder7850]

Robot: You forget that a robot has no heart. Irving: Is there a robot equivalent of Zoloft? Dorothy: Why don’t you come with me to the Emerald City?

[@nunyabizness6595]

A full anyslis of one lost episode. Interesting. Ive seen RLM due best of eps of TNG but this is cool.

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

14:13 "you have returned, Mr. Robinson. Robot loves you more than you could know. Whoa.... Whoa... Whoa...."

[@rgd963]

Hide it in a hiding place where no MAN ever GONE BEFORE Put it in your TRANSPORTER with your cupcakes It's a little secret, just the ROMULAN'S affair Most of all you got to hide it from the FAMDOM MENANCE

[@trevorinthailand]

The spooky music made lis😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

17:11 The Cosmic Radiation gauge is helpfully labelled "Cosmic Radiation." For some reason, that reminds me of the scene in "Airplane!" where the one air traffic controlled was told to "check the radar range."

[@johnbockelie3899]

An evil talking dog. Oooh.im scared.

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

1:38 Hey, it's the burning bush! :D

[@stanleybest8833]

Throw out your ATSC 3.0. stomp your cable box. I want analog NTSC TV back, and I want Lost in Space, Star Trek, The Munsters, The Rockford Files, and The Twilight Zone. Only polite honest commercials from now on.

[@Obeijin]

Forbidden Planet ...Robbie ...

[@rgd963]

Robby was use in project blue book and Mork & Mindy ,k-Tel space records commerical

[@katymvt]

So, where was Penny during all the robitoid stuff? Did they send her off to camp for the week?

[@dwashbur]

She was on a date with wolf guy.

[@stephenswift5531]

Where's Penny Robinson

[@mikeb53]

at 12:15 you see that Don had something in his right hand. He was clearly planning to shiv the Robotoid!

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

Robby the,Robot,would later appear in a colorized episode where convicts were frozen on pedistals.

[@mikegeorge5354]

The Robot also seems to be self aware

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I enjoyed this episode! Robbie the Robot was one of the best guest stars in this show’s history! I just hated how the Robinson’s Robot was too weak in explaining the danger of the “Robotoid” vs an actual Robot!” This was one of the major episodes to define the Robot as a major positive character in this series! BTW, how would the Robot have knowledge about “Robotoids”, since they never existed on Earth? Unless we are including hypothetical theories!!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I found the conversation between the robots was very entertaining!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

The Robotoid talks with a werewolf looking creature who’s face never moves! So damn cheap!!

[@LoesserOf2Evils]

It was nice to see that Dr. Smith didn’t upstage everyone for a change.

[@dwashbur]

It didn't happen as much in the first season.

[@randquadrozzi1280]

Show was pretty cool kids love robots and back then robots were something new and dr Smith was a all time great character even though he was a sniveling cowards.the music was good and pretty spooky.

[@timothyortiz2222]

"It was a truly sad day when Bozo the Clown 🤡 discovered meth." 😂

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

LOL!! The best line in the entire video!

[@KeithPrince-cp3me]

Robotoid means robot like implying it's not actually a robot but something that only superficially resembles a robot but in reality is something substantially different. For example something that is part organic life but is part machine. In this story the definition of a robot is a machine that is constrained by its programming whereas the robotoid has some sort of free will, or the computer equivalent of...

[@kamenfann8880]

6:19 as well as either the wolf man or the grinch

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

2:48 How the heck does The Robot know that? Are there Robotoids hanging around Earth somewhere?

[@dwashbur]

SHHHH!

[@tomboughan2718]

Where is Penny?

[@luthermcgee3767]

Great presentation, sir.

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

5:40 Robby has the ability to create film dissolves... :D

[@stephenswift5531]

Does it even have a power pack

[@korg13]

Robbie was also on Mork & Mindy and a few other movies

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

That was no alien! It was one of those dog-faced pony soldiers!

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

LOL!!!! omg!! exactly!

[@JeffreyWLaRue]

Where was Penny during this episode?

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

15:25 I'm glad he told us he had been destroyed. Otherwise, who could tell? Also, did this Robot get designed by the Keeper? One little spark show and "you have destroyed meeeeeeee..."

[@dwashbur]

The zap must have hit him in the hoo-hahs.

[@CailenCambeul]

@@dwashbur I was thinking of a much more similar reaction to The Monster in Flesh Gordon.

[@cowboyfrankspersonalvideos8869]

Interesting that they used music from "Forbidden Planit"

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

7:08 The Robot must have had some bad sushi...

[@James-fg1el]

Robbie was on dobie gillis

[@ronalddaub7965]

Already they are beginning to like me better,, in a short while as the camshaft head Robot explained to the other

[@CyndisKrist]

I guess Penny was in her cabin with a touch of space flu. She is missing from this episode with no explanation at all.

[@Obeijin]

Watch it again ...she's at the very end ...

[@stevejones6247]

the 'talking head' looks something from MMPR

[@paultheaudaciousbradford6772]

My very favorite episode is “Ghost In Space”, episode 19 of Season 1; but I don’t see any video of your that covers it. To this day, my brothers and I talk about how terrified we were if Uncle Thaddeus. I’d love to see you cover it.

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Look again.. it's there.

[@seanmcdonough4902]

And where was Penny during this episode?

[@dwashbur]

If I had had my druthers, she would have been taking a walk with me ;)

[@richardsmith748]

The special effects budget and ability to provide the special effects was limited

[@dwashbur]

But they sure made the most of it.

[@ronalddaub7965]

I like the way this Robbie the robot had a camshaft with rocker arms in it's headed as switches I saw this robot another time and Alfred Hitchcock and someone had lost whatever was under the dome the camshaft thing that lit up and they had to make some cheap looking cardboard thing with the spring coming out under the dome on the Hitchcock episode for this robot was invented by some guy to torture his niece after he died

[@ronalddaub7965]

Robbie the robot was also used on a episode of doby gillis one time

[@stevenwatchorn9816]

11:55 LOL!

[@markmyjak7739]

How does Dr. Smith know it's platinum?

[@brooklynant2047]

Btw, the robot that the Robinsons have. What was HIS name? Or did he ever have one?

[@dwashbur]

As far as I know, the number and letter combo he gave that big computer was the only "name" he ever received.

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

In the end shouldnt the evil robot realized why the Robinson robot wanted to get closer to him?

[@roberthaworth8991]

He was flattered to have a follower/slave if his own. He also arrogantly assumed that the demonstrably inferior, “all-mechanical” B9 robot wouldn’t be able to pull an off any attack the Robotoid couldn’t counteract.

[@stephenswift5531]

Where is the robotoid

[@franksnowboarder]

the episode had both smoke and mirrors

[@nelsonvargas2367]

Irwin Allen must have been working on a tight budget because some of the special effects were obviously cheap .

[@stanleybest8833]

...unless you like the drive in movie/ early TV genre.

[@CEShoen]

Rls of eps of tng ?

[@dwashbur]

Huh?

[@johnstevenson9956]

That's the one thing that made this show almost too silly to watch. They continually gave Smith difficult assignments that were critical to their survival, which of course he never did, and they never, never learned.

[@rocket7697]

Agreed. However, Series 1 captivated me as a kid. Irwin Allen's imagination brought to life. Magic.

[@Nathan-jq1uw]

@@rocket7697 I agree. The first season was wonderful with it's superior stories and the B&W cinematography lending such otherworldly atmosphere. Yes, Irwin Allen's imagination was realized on the screen, and it did so much to fire the imaginations of young viewers.

[@stevebennet6539]

@@Nathan-jq1uw Series 1 is what made the show what it is.. Unfortunately, we all hung on during Series 2 and 3 for more.. but were kind of disappointed somewhat.

[@zzzbbbooo]

It's juvenile sci fi - they had to have storylines.

[@roberthaworth8991]

ST: TOS is a respected show. LiS is a BELOVED show.

[@stephenswift5531]

Is it just me or Dr smith is becoming a father figure to Will Robinson

[@stanleybest8833]

It's you.

[@brooklynant2047]

He goes on to say that this robot (Robby) can “go beyond his programming”. That he has a “free choice” to do what he will but yet he still sought the ones who built & programmed him who wanted him to harm the Robinsons so yes he still went with his programming & basically was still told what to do, so I don’t see what the whole rant was about. This episode showed that truthfully he was anything so I don’t know what all The who how was about but ok. You go on to say that he made his own free choice in obeying but I think he had no free choice as he #1: Felt had to report to his master(s)/maker(s). 2: Exercising free choice he could’ve elected to leave them alone & say “Hey I’m here hanging out, I can choose to taken things as they come instead of doing what my programming dictates that I still be a d!ck & harm these guys. You know because I was made to”.

[@madgary5827]

What the f is Skynet

[@dwashbur]

It's the AI that caused humanity's downfall in the Terminator series.

​@@dwashbur I must be getting senile. Thank you

[@gazinta]

If you need help with memes, let me know. That "Lost In Irvingland" needed help

[@johnbockelie3899]

For his price in 1956, MGM had to get their money's worth out of Robbie the robot. Some one had to pay for it.

Lousy battle scene between the robots .
